Taking up the anticipatory bail applications of businessman Mahimananda Mishra and three of his associates in connection with a murder case, the Orissa High Court today called for the case diaries in the matter.
Without giving any interim protection to the four, Justice C R Dash posted the bail applications to be heard again after the winter vacation.
Odisha Stevedores Limited chief Mishra and his associates were booked by Paradeep police in connection with the murder of one Mahendra Swain, who was a local manager of another Stevedores group company. Swain was shot dead by two assailants on October 26 in Paradeep.
Mishra approached the High Court last month seeking anticipatory bail and also challenged the lookout circular issued against him by Jagatsinghpur superintendent of police.
Appearing for Mishra, a battery of lawyers led by Dharanidhar Nayak argued for his anticipatory bail stating that as head of a corporate house, he should be given certain protection from the court as more than 10,000 employees of his company are unable to get their monthly salary.
